No denying that. Off the top of my head Ultrix-32 v2

minimum you'll get running on a MicroVAX II.
I loaded Ultrix T2.0 (pre-release "Test" version?) from TK50 in about
1986 or 1987 on an early MicroVAX II. Prior to that, I loaded some
flavor of Ultrix v1 from magtape onto an 11/730 w/RB80 disk. That
doesn't say what will or won't work in terms of the boundary cases,
but it's two points on the curve.
In both cases, I remember that installation took most of a day, and it
was a major wait for the kernel to compile.
